Can anyone recommend a face wash for DS age 13 to use in the shower?

He has ok skin but a few blackheads and tiny whiteheads starting to appear!

Thanks!

Nip and fab face wash is good. My 13 year old uses it to control his very oily skin with the odd pimple. I think there are a couple of variants as well. The Nip & fab pads are also really good for a quick wipe over in the morning.

As above. This is what my children have. They use it on a small circular facial sponge. Or anything with salicylic acid for blackheads. Don't pick anything red/inflamed! Just makes it worse.

I have something that is great for spots. Got rid of a nasty red spot on DS forehead in 2 days. I'll have a look what it was as it's pretty natural and non-drying.

Body Shop tea tree oil face wash is excellent - makes a visible difference to my son’s face (which is actually becoming a bit spotty so may be worse than your son’s?)

Cerave hydrating or Sam farmer

Oh yes I have seen good reviews for cerave in another site, thanks for reminding me! Also he used to use sam farmer but then I couldn't find anywhere that stocked it and was reluctant to pay the P&P Sam farmer charged!

I'm looking for something not too harsh as his skin is still quite childlike and not greasy (yet!).

The Nip and Fab one is brilliant.

If you're after natural I've heard good things about Sukin (think that's right) think it's available in John Lewis and H&B

I found this article quite useful when I was wondering what to get
